Thomas Tuchel admits he has "a problem" with referee Anthony Taylor after Tottenham draw

Thomas Tuchel pulled no punches as he tore into the refereeing performances of Anthony Taylor and the video assistant Mike Dean following Chelsea's draw with Tottenham.

The Blues were held to a 2-2 stalemate by their London rivals having led twice at a sun-drenched Stamford Bridge on Sunday evening. The temperature in the air was matched by the fiery action on the pitch and just to the side of it, where managers Thomas Tuchel and Antonio Conte clashed on multiple occasions prior to receiving red cards.

Tuchel was deeply unhappy with the nature of Spurs' two goals, the first of which came after Kai Havertz was challenged and the visitors broke. Later in the Premier League encounter, deep into added time, Cristian Romero avoided being sent off for violent conduct after replays showed him pulling Marc Cucurella's hair during a Spurs corner.
